Specialist Task Force 337: TTCN-3 improvement

Who we are:

Team Leader: Ina Schieferdecker
Team Members: Thomas Deiss
Jens Grabowski
György Réthy

What we do / Why we do it :

Over the last few years TC MTS has put a considerable amount of effort into specifying the third generation of the standardised testing language TTCN (known as TTCN-3). The language is also an ITU-T recommendation (Z.140 series).

TTCN-3 has become a significantly important testing technology and with the decision of 3GPP RAN5 to move to
TTCN-3 from Release 8 onwards there is a real need to address a number of outstanding maintenance issues.

 As the use of TTCN-3 expands users naturally comment on the language, expecting improvements and maintenance issues to be addressed. MTS is committed to keeping the language up-to-date and well maintained. A Change Request procedure is in place and there is now a significant backlog of issues (over 50 non resolved Changed Requests). In this critical period when TTCN-3 is being adopted by 3GPP as the key testing technology this STF is needed to manage this procedure in 2007 and to effect the timely implementation of a number of outstanding requests and other maintenance issues.
